  • How are you guesstimating how many shirts/medals to order for a 5k?

    Posted: Sept. 29, 2023

    Posted: Sept. 15, 2023

  • Is it recommended to put the year of your race on the runner shirts, or just the name of the race, sponsors, etc?

    Posted: Aug. 17, 2023

  • What do you do with old race shirts that you can’t sell?

    Posted: Aug. 17, 2023

  • Why do you think most races don't offer women's cut shirts when I believe women are really outnumbering men at races now?

    Posted: June 9, 2023

  • Do any of you charge for a t-shirt add on for your 5k, or do you always give one away with the race entry?

    Posted: June 9, 2023

  • How much are you paying for T-shirts these days?

    Posted: Feb. 10, 2023

  • I am looking at maybe starting to sell printed t-shirts. Has anyone done this for their events company or club?

    Posted: Jan. 13, 2023

  • Does anyone produce their own event shirts?

    Posted: Nov. 25, 2022

  • What approach do you take with the T-shirts that were not picked up on race day?

    Posted: Nov. 11, 2022

  • What is the etiquette for having race t-shirts available for purchase during raceday?

    Posted: Sept. 2, 2022

  • We are looking to revamp our sponsorship packages in the coming months. Looking for some ideas as to what others offer outside of the usual tshirt sponsorship.

    Posted: June 3, 2022

  • My trusted shirt vendor just told me they aren’t going to meet my deadline. Do I eat the cost and order shirts from another vendor?

    Posted: March 24, 2022

  • What do you do if you run out of shirts and medals? Do you order more, or just let people know they won’t get one?

    Posted: March 4, 2022

  • Just curious…what are your thoughts on white tech race shirts?

    Posted: Jan. 28, 2022

  • What attracts runners to your races beyond a finisher medal and T-shirt?

    Posted: Jan. 28, 2022

  • Any race directors have found a good alternative to t-shirts?

    Posted: Jan. 14, 2022

  • Has anyone successfully had a no shirt/no medal race option that actually worked out?

    Posted: Nov. 19, 2021

  • Does anyone know of any charities to donate leftover T-shirts to?

    Posted: Nov. 19, 2021

  • Has anyone else run out of t-shirts? And if so what did you do?
